Watermelon Fingerprint Card Craft
Today’s Mixed Media Fingerprint Watermelon Card craft idea is something I came up with for young toddlers in mind.
I know sometimes our crafts on Glued To My Crafts can be a bit “difficult” for younger ones, so I made it my mission to add a little bit of easier tutorials for them to recreate this summer, as well!
This goal is starting today with this EASY cardstock paper mixed media watermelon craft!!! It’s got a total of FIVE supplies and the steps are very basic! In the end, they will have a paper card piece that will “look” like the inside of a sliced watermelon.
So on that note, you can find EVERYTHING you need to know, in the simple tutorial below. I sure hope you are inspired to recreate it with your child today!

Directions:
- First fold the sheet of green cardstock paper in half to make a simple card shape.
- Next up – trim down the pink cardstock paper, so it fits on the front of the green cardstock card you just made. This will give the appearance of a watermelon slice.
- Glue the newly cut pink cardstock piece to the center of the folded green cardstock card.
- Now grab your black ink pad {or black craft paint.}
- Have children make “fingerprints” all over, for the watermelon seeds inside the pink cardstock piece.
- Use the baby wipes to clean off fingers.
- When done decorating the front, use your markers to write a clever message like “you are one in a melon” inside, to tie the theme together.
- And that’s it!!! Now give it away to the lucky receiver.
